Ron Weasley has led a long fulfilling life, surviving his wife, Hermione Weasley nee Granger and sits on his deathbed waiting to rejoin her. But his great-granddaughter's youngest child, named after his own Hermione, won't let him go without one last story.

What if Harry was a little more obviously damaged and suspicious than in the original books, and got separated from Hagrid when he first visited Gringotts and asked questions of the Goblins. What would he learn of his inheritance and of his place in the Wizarding World that would change the course of history. This will be a bad/manipulative!Dumbledore and some Weasley bashing.
